Hello Everyone,
I am new to starting a thread but have always used this forum/community to make sure I was doing right by my Bearded. This is my second time owning a Bearded as I've had one in the past.
Our Juvenile "Fred" (Like my Little 5-year-old Layla calls him) is about a month from purchase from our Local Petsmart. He was doing great until about 5 days ago (Saturday) night. He has started to just plop himself down on his heating rock, not the highest but midway and pretty much remain there for the entire day. My wife attempts to feed him throughout the day and sometimes he will eat a bit, sometimes he refuses to acknowledge she is even there. I've given him baths, the first bath he was drinking healthy and enjoying himself, the second bath he wanted nothing to do with the water and just floated around in it. I put him in my hand and turned the water off he seemed super limp as when I reached for a towel he rolled over in my palm onto his back and made little to no effort to correct himself, so I instantly did when I realized he was not going to. Now we are back in the tank and has no movement, no care in the world.
His tank is 40 Gallon Glass, Carpet Substrate, Basking light is a combo Solar Glo 125 (keeps basking area 105-115), we also have a UVB Reptisun 10.0 that runs the length of the rest of the tank. The cool side is around 80-90. At night lights go off the tank remains between 69-75.
He is fed Kale, and Mixed Veggies, as well as Newborn Dubai Roaches, dusted with Calcium. Calcium was not entirely given at every meal as we would forget from time to time.
I am at a loss of what to do for him at this point as I think everything seems pretty spot on tank wise.
Thanks for the help!
